Just gonna post this here so everyone can see just in case they’re interested also. And don’t worry, I don’t mind people asking me how I do stuff haha. 

So someone asked me how I do those dotted gradient background like the image below so here goes~

image

  • First you make a new layer below your image

image

  • then you click the gradient tool. Make sure your foreground and background color is set to the default black and white. Then use it on the layer below your image.

image

  • Now go to Filter»Pixelate»Color halftone and click it. A window should pop-up after.

image

  • Welp there’s your window! Now change all the variables to 45

image

  • It should now look something like this! If you want the dots to have a different color then make a new layer above the dots and set the layer mode to “screen”

image

  • On that layer which is now on the “screen” blend mode fill it with any color you like using the paint bucket tool.

And there you go! I hope this was helpful :’>
